SWAT-MODFLOW 모형은 물리적 기반의 준 분포형 모형인 SWAT모형의 지하수 모듈을 분포형 모형인 MODFLOW로 대체하여 하천과 대수층간의 수위차이에 따른 물교환량으로 지하수 유출량을 결정하는 완전 연동형 지표수-지하수 통합모형이다. 이 모형을 구동하기 위해서는 유역자료, 기상자료, 하천특성자료, 토지 이용자료, 토양자료, 작물자료, 지하수자료 등 다양한 입력 자료를 필요로 한다. 이러한 입력 자료의 변동양상에 따라 모형의 결과가 크게 다르게 나타나므로 모형의 입력 매개변수 변화에 따른 모형의 반응을 분석하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 지하수유출해석을 담당하는 MODFLOW 모형의 수리지질학적 매개변수 변화에 따른 모형의 반응을 검토하였다. SWAT-MODFLOW 모형을 경안천 유역에 적용하여 투수계수, 저류계수, 하상수리전도도 등의 주요 수리지질학적 매개변수가 지하수 유출현상에 미치는 증감과 변화율 등을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 유역출구점에서의 연평균 지하수유출량의 변화, 하천과 대수층의 상호작용에 따른 지하수 유출량 시계열의 변화 등을 분석하여 그 결과를 제시하였다.

Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Company(KHNP) conducted site investigations for a low and intermediate-level nuclear waste repository in the Gyeong Ju site. The site characterization work constitutes a description of the site, its regional setting and the current state of the geosphere and biosphere. The main objectives of hydogeological investigation aimed to understand the hydrogeological setting and conditions of the site, and to provide the input parameters for safety evaluation. The hydogeological characterization of the site was performed from the results of surface based investigations, i.e geological mapping and analysis, drilling works and hydraulic testing, and geophysical survey and interpretation. The hydro-structural model based on the hydrogeological characterization consists of one-Hydraulic Soil Domain, three-Hydraulic Rock Domains and five-Hydraulic Conductor Domains. The hydrogeological framework and the hydraulic values provided for each hydraulic unit over a relevant scale were used as the baseline for the conceptualization and interpretation of flow modeling. The current hydrogeological characteristics based on the surface based investigation include some uncertainties resulted from the basic assumption of investigation methods and field data. Therefore, the reassessment of hydrostructure model and hydraulic properties based on the field data obtained during the construction is necessitated for a final hydrogeological characterization.

A sound understanding of the structural characteristics of fractured rock masses is important in designing and maintaining earth structures because their strength, deformability, and hydraulic behavior depend mainly on the characteristics of discontinuity network structures. Despite considerable progress in understanding the structural characteristics of rock masses, the complexity of discontinuity patterns has prevented satisfactory analysis based on a 3-D rock mass visualization model. This paper presents the results of studies performed to develop rock mass visualization in 3-D to analysis the mechanical and hydraulic behavior of fractured rock masses. General and particular solutions of non-linear equations of disk-shaped fractures have been derived to calculated lines of intersection and equivalent pipes. Also, program modules have been developed to perform the calculations. The procedures developed for the 3-D fractured rock mass visualization model can be used to characterize rock mass geometry and network systems effectively. The results obtained in this study will be refined and then combined for use as a tool for assessing geomechanical problems related to strength, deformability and hydraulic behaviors of the fractured rock masses.

Current technology for radioactive waste disposal facility is operated as part of KURT site characterization in terms of reliability assessment is conducted to expand. In this study, a geological model of KURT surrounding area on the basis of flow characteristics of the site-scale hydrogeological study was about. Distributed in the study area into four boreholes were plotted using the stereo net NS, NW, EW, Low-angle fracture group was able to identify the components of geological models and include top soil layer, belt of weathering, Low-angle fracture zone, fracture zone was divided into. Separated by fracture of the hydraulic test of through the groundwater aquifer that provides the flow hydraulic conductivity and insulation hydraulic affecting the slope of the normal distribution for the size and direction by performing statistical analysis of fracture in the direction of local ns The advantage was confirmed. In addition, Low-angle fracture hydraulic conductivity of the value of 3.61e-07 m/s has a value greater than the major fracture, the fracture zones exist in the base rock and base rock and the hydraulic characteristics of the different methods applied and had to have a different interpretation judged by was.

To characterize the geological features in the study area for high-level radioactive waste disposal research, KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has been performing several geological investigations such as geophysical surveys and borehole drillings since 1997. Especially, the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) constructed to understand the deep geological environments in 2006. Recently, the deep boreholes, which have 500 m depth inside the left research module of the KURT and 1,000 m depth outside the KURT, were drilled to confirm and validate the results from a geological model. The objective of this research was to investigate hydrogeological conditions using a 3-D geological model around the KURT. The geological analysis from the surface and borehole investigations determined four important geologicla elements including subsurface weathered zone, low-angled fractures zone, fracture zones and bedrock for the geological model. In addition, the geometries of these elements were also calculated for the three-dimensional model. The results from 3-D geological model in this study will be beneficial to understand hydrogeological environment in the study area as an important part of high-level radioactive waste disposal technology.

난지도 매립지는 매립충의 불균질성과 고온의 침출수 및 가스의 흐름이 동시에 복합적으로 일어나는 현상 때문에 수리지질학적으로 매우 복잡한 지역이다. 난지도의 수문층서단위 조사와 디스크-장력 침투계(Disc tension Infiltrometer)로 불포화대 수리 특성을 추정하였으며 가스 거동 현상을 이해하기 위해 지온을 측정하였다. 매립지 주변의 지하수위 변화를 조사하기 위해 양수정과 다중-수위관측정(Multi-Level Monitoring Well)에서 수위변화를 관측하였다. 불포화대 수리특성과 기상자료를 바탕으로 매립지로의 순침투량을 추정하였다. 이것을 근거로 총 침출수 발생량을 추정하였으며, 기저 지하수면 상부에 분포하는 포화 침출수대, 즉 부유침출수의 생성 메카니즘에 대한 연구도 수행하였다.

본 연구의 대상 지역은 전라북도 부안군 변산면 격포리 일대이다. 이 지역의 해안 대수층 내에서 발생하고 있는 해수 침투 현상을 효과적으로 모사하고 지하수 양수정의 설치 및 운영의 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 지형과 지층의 구성 등의 수리지질학적 특성을 종합적으로 고려한 지하수 유동 및 염분 이동 삼차원 수치 모델링을 수행하였다. 지하수 양수 전의 정상 상태 수치 모델링 결과에서는 지하수 유동 및 염분 이동의 측면에서 대상지역의 수리지질학적 특성이 잘 반영되어 나타났다. 또한 지하수 양수 시의 비정상 상태 수치 모델링 결과에서는 지형과 지층의 특성에 따라서 염분 이동의 양상이 특징적으로 나타났으며 양수정의 위치에 따른 염분 농도의 시간적 공간적 분포의 변화를 효과적으로 예측할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들은 향후 연구지역 뿐만 아니라 국내의 다른 해안 지역에서 지하수 자원의 개발 시에 해수 침투의 양상을 파악하고 예측하는데 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study assessed the hydrogeological properties of the deep geological environment to develop safety criteria for the natural barriers used in the deep geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste in Korea. The assessment focused on the distribution and trends of hydraulic conductivity and permeability properties appropriate for the domestic geological environment, using various in-situ hydraulic test data collected for groundwater development and management. To develop a depth-hydrogeological property relationship model suitable for domestic conditions, the study reviewed various international research examples and applied a representative model that explains the trends of hydraulic conductivity and permeability with depth. The development of the model suitable for Korea involved applying ensemble regression analysis to account for the uncertainty of various factors in the collected data. The results confirmed that existing international depth-hydrogeological property relationship models adequately describe the characteristics of the domestic geological environment. Considering the preferred hydrogeological criteria suggested by countries like Sweden, Germany, and Canada, there is a high likelihood that a suitable geological environment exists in Korea. Additionally, the application of hydrogeological criteria indicative of low-permeability environments showed that suitable conditions for disposal construction increase at depths greater than 300 m, where the influence of fractures on groundwater flow might be minimal at depths exceeding 500 m. This research can serve as foundational information for establishing hydrogeological safety standards for natural barriers in Korea according to international regulatory guidelines.
